UKPC charge notice

Yes. They should do just that giving your name and address. You then need to do a soft appeal in order to get a POPLA code when you get the paperwork.

I'm going to read through some threads to see if I can see a similar situation

Search the forum for 'McDonalds' or the name of the retail park itself, using the 'search this forum' heading on the right above the current threads on page one of the parking forum board, next to 'forum tools'. Change the default search to 'show posts' rather than show threads which is too confusing. 'Show posts' gives recent results and they'll be very relevant.

I can tell you that Vomityspice has just posted a POPLA adjudication decision about the McDonalds car park at Riverside Retail Park in Northampton. It's in the sticky 'POPLA decisions' at the end of course. And in the 'Successful Complaints about PPCs' sticky thread I have linked two or three threads talking about their success with complaining to McDonalds Managers, to get these charges cancelled easily!

Sticky threads are the info threads permanently 'stuck' at the top of any forum.

I've had a look through some of the popla appeals and it looks very complicated.

Nah, it's easy, there are so many to copy from now!

I'm going to visit the Mcdonalds early next week to speak to complain to the manager.

Good, go in suited and booted and with the ticket and the receipt or any proof of purchase if you have it (don't worry if you don't have a receipt). Look like you mean business!

I'll get some photos of signs and positioning.

It doesn't state on the charge notice how long I overstayed.

That's all good. Does it state just the 'time of the contravention' but not a period of time which could be construed as the 'period of parking'?

Also on the back of the notice the contact email is [EMAIL="mcdonalds@appealpcn.co.uk"]mcdonalds@appealpcn.co.uk[/EMAIL].

Is this anything to do with McDonald's, and if not is this not a blatant attempt to make people think they are dealing with mcdonalds directly.

I suspect it's nothing to do with McDonalds but I am not certain.

See how you get on with the McD's Manager next week first. You don't appeal yet anyway because you have to wait for your employer to give your name and address to UKPC as the driver, THEN for UKPC to send you a Notice to Driver (assuming there was never a windscreen version?).

There's an in time, out time and total duration.

That's a 'period of parking' then (ish!). I know it's not evidence of actual parking but it's close enough IMHO.

But I bet there are more things wrong with the Notice. Can you show a BROKEN LINK (no http://) showing a close up photo of the front & back of the ticket? Or alternatively, Google 'Schedule 4 Freedoms Act' and look at paragraph 9 which talks in simple bullet points about NTKs posted without any 'windscreen ticket' (which is what I gather this is?). Look at every point 9a) through to the last one (9h)? and spot what is NOT stated on that Notice to Keeper that they posted. Was it posted before day 14? Does it state them as 'Creditor'? etc. etc. (there's more to check)!
